Location: Florianópolis, Brazil

Event Details: The Global Methane Initiative (GMI), together with Fundação do Meio Ambiente (FATMA), hosted a best practices workshop on reducing methane emissions on 12-13 March 2014. The event consisted of several technical sessions discussing best practices and opportunities for recovery and mitigation of methane emissions in the Agriculture, Municipal Solid Waste, and Municipal Wastewater Treatment sectors.

Following the best practices workshop, GMI held a tri-sector subcommittee meeting (Agriculture, Municipal Solid Waste (MSW), and Municipal Wastewater Treatment) on 14 March 2014 at the Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC). The tri-sector meeting began with a welcome from the University and included an update from the GMI Administrative Support Group (ASG), country updates from countries represented at the meeting, and dedicated sessions for each sector.
